Belt-Minder® Feature

The Belt-Minder® is configurable on or off. Refer to: Seatbelt Minder Deactivating/Activating  .

The Belt-Minder® feature supplements the current seatbelt warning function and is enabled after the current seatbelt warning is complete. The Belt-Minder® reminds the driver that the driver or front passenger seatbelt is unbuckled by intermittently sounding a chime and simultaneously illuminating the seatbelt warning indicator. The Belt-Minder® begins once the current seatbelt warning has ended and the vehicle speed has exceeded 10 km/h (6 mph) with the driver or front passenger seatbelt unbuckled. While activated, the Belt-Minder® chime provides a series of chimes/seatbelt warning indicator flash sequences.

If the vehicle speed drops below 5 km/h (3 mph) once the Belt-Minder® chime has activated, the chime turns off and the seatbelt warning indicator remains on. When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph) again, the Belt-Minder® chime resumes.

To control the Belt-Minder®, the IPC receives all applicable messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the vehicle speed and gear lever position messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

The GWM receives the driver seatbelt buckle status, passenger seatbelt buckle status and the front passenger detect status messages from the RCM over the HS-CAN2.
